"It's a small price to pay for a lifetime of unforgettable moments."
That is the quote from the youth hunt banner that flashes across MM above which allows youth to purchase $5.00 deer and turkey permits. I'm obviously for increasing recruitment of young hunters as the current hunters continue to age that is an accepted fact. In spite of the 5 dollar tags we won't come close to selling out permits and will still give bonus licenses to try an keep the deer population at manageable levels. The recruitment of young hunters isn't working in spite of earlier seasons, $5.00 permits and various other programs, including archery and hunter safety programs within schools. This is in Nebraska what about your state. I live in a very rural area where less and less kids hunt every year.
So my question is how is youth recruitment going in your state and what do you feel the answer is to continue the hunting tradition, I assume everyone on this site cares about? In spite of the attempts by Nebraska Game and Parks which I support not much success in adding younger hunters. The family tradition in Utah appeals to me and I find refreshing. It is somewhat an access issue in Ne. is only 3% is public land but I also think it's societal. Tell me I'm wrong or that we have fields full of younger hunters to carry on the tradition when we're worm food.
